Integrating Mark–Recapture–Recovery and Census Data to Estimate Animal Abundance and Demographic Parameters

摘要: In studies of wild animals, one frequently encounters both census and mark-recapture-recovery data. We show how a state-space model for data in combination with the usual multinomial-based models ring-recovery provide estimates productivity not available from either type alone. The approach is illustrated on two British bird species. For lapwing, we calibrate its recent decline could be due to decrease productivity. heron, there no evidence productivity, combined analysis increases significantly strength logistic regressions survival winter severity.
